Peace be unto you
My peace I give to you
In this world you'll surely find
Trials of many different kinds, but
[Chorus]
Be of good cheer
Be of good cheer
For I have overcome this world
Be of good cheer
Be of good cheer
For now I go away
But I will return
To take you to a place to dwell
So where I am you'll be as well
[Repeat Chorus]
In this world you'll surely find
Trials of many different kinds
But I will not forsake you then
I'll be with you until the end
[Repeat Chorus]
